SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 724,777, dated. April. 7, 1903. Application iilecl September 16,1902. SeralNo. 123,566. (No model.)

1,0 all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX BARMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in heaters particularly adapted for heating or boiling water for laundry use; and the object is to provide a heater comprising a fire-box and boiler so arranged that the fire-box will occupy a comparatively large space of the boiler bottom, thus increasing the area of water directly acted upon by the heat.

I will describe a heater embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference isv to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,

in which similar characters of reference indi-l cate corresponding parts in allthe figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a heater embody-y ing my invention with the boiler removed. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, with the boiler in place; andFig. 3-is an end elevation thereof, partly in section.

The heater comprises an ash-box 1, having here shown, the boiler has upwardly-extended side walls 11, which. extend along the opposite sides of the fire-box, and these side Walls are connected bythe top arched portion 12, which extends over the top of the fire-box.

When the boiler is in position, the rear end will abut against the back plate 13 of the irebox, thus .closing the end of said bottom space, the other end being closed by a door 14. By providing :the door 14 it is obvious that it is not necessary to remove the boiler to place` fuel in the re-box-that is, when it is desired'to charge the fire-box the door let may be opened, and then the door 8 may be opened-and of course by thus closing the ends the heat will be prevented from escaping. By this construction it will be seen that a very large heating area is provided, and consequently the water maybe brought more quickly to boiling-point than would ,be the case when the bottom of the boileris Hat and .seated directly onthe fiat surface of a heater.

Having thus described myA invention, I claim as new anddesire to secure byfLetters Patent- 1. yA heater comprising an ash-,box,`a fire box arranged thereon and a downwardlyswinging door Afor the fire-box, a boiler having its bottom, formed to extend along the opposite sides of said re-box and over the top of the same and al door on the boilerin line with the fire-box door.

2. A heater comprising an ash-box, a lireA box thereon and of less width than the ashbox, a downwardly-swinging door at the forward end of the fire-box, a boiler having a bottom portion consisting of opposite side walls adapted to extend along the side walls of the fire-box, and a top portion for extending over the top of the fire-box, a door at one end of the boiler, and a back plate for the heater and forming a closure for the other end of the boiler.

In testimony whereof- I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. Y

, MAX BARMAN.
